Joe Brolly on RTE split, Marty Morrissey comment and Jim McGuinness 

I always enjoy Joe's perspective. Extremely articulate with a well developed sense of fairness and concern for the broader integrity of the game, above the narrow pursuit of winning at all costs. I did detest his Marty Morissey comment , so glad to see he was genuinely sorry for that. He made a sincere direct apology and that always (should be) enough. Fair play!

RTE. Bring him back. He livened things up. Would watch a bad game all the way through just to see him say it was shit in his own inimitable way. I forget sometimes this guy is a highly successful barrister. All round good gael.

Joe was the most insightful and intelligent commenter and panellist RTÉ GAA ever had, so of course he got sacked by a civil servant.

Joe Brolly a real man not like the other pretenders on R.T.E.

Joe paid the price of being interesting. Just like Kevin Myers. And George Hook. And Ivan Yates. Joe was just not sufficiently bland and tedious to survive in RTE.

Joe is an Honest and Honourable Man. Tell it how it is, which other broadcaster's fail to do, particularly with the Six Counties Colony in Ireland.

JOES HONEST AND TRUE YOU CANT BEAT THAT,CLASS

Great interview Tommy. Best on irish 📺 TV Joe brolly for president 👏

The adulation he felt for "going after Tyrone" in shaping the "national conversation" was rewarded by RTE in his sacking and Sean Cavanagh (the pratagonist) employed in his stead ....😂😂😂

Top man joe,sorely missed on rte

his perspective greatly needed..how sad rte has become

Fair play Joe. The second half of that Donegal Dublin 2014 semi is pure gold.

Would like to see him back

If somebody had not gone running to the head of sport? That person now adds nothing to the punditry coverage except to harangue, interrupt and scold others. Joe was (is) a true GAA person, and he is absolutely correct about the psudo scientific nonsense that goes on now. 🙏👍

Brolly is a massive loss he always spoke his mind definitely a huge loss

He had his strengths as a pundit. But he also knew how to antagonise and cause problems. Eventually employers tire of all that in any profession.

Any idea who he's talking about when he says managers going to different counties and failing

A man that was just way to articulate for RTE.

He knew exactly what he was saying and he meant it 700 percent

Joe Brolly made the game interesting-he is a fascinating articulate man

Haven't watched the pundits since

RTE, dropped the ball ketting Joe go!

I was always sickened how Joe was taken up by many folks. Some people just don't like others opinions to be contraversial and nuanced at the same time, it means they can't refute it.

He had some decent views on certain things but I thought 4 a finish Brolly went OTT on his views to make the story about himself instead of the incidents he was complaining about.He loves the limelight. I found it hard to watch for a finish.

Here's something controversial, do you have to be a female now to get a job presenting GAA programmes?

Some ego. But his commentary on life in the North is very insightful

Did Joe ever mention he was a hot shot barrister? Naw, didn't think so.......

Brolly owns the Rte

love brolly

Was his dad in the republican movement in the North.

His Marty comment was out of order.

Marty Morrissey comment was hilarious. Man is no oil painting.

I just think off conor moore sketches doing him lol still dont know why rte got rid off him

You don't have pundits on to be right, it's their job to be entertaining and slightly ridiculous. It's an awful shame to see it being dumbed down

Brolly comes across a bitter man. He was always great to throw out digs and insults but couldn’t take his own medicine.

His karaoke Eamonn Dunphy persona grew very tiresome. Joe also has a habit of reminding everybody that he is a barrister and then pausing as if he’s waiting for a round of applause.

He doesnt regret it ie he totally meant it come on

3:31.....no, no,n ,n

What joe brolly said about marty morrisey was totally disgraceful thats great behaviour from a solicitor totally disgraceful

Brolly was a great pundit but the comment he made about marty morrisey was totally and outrightly disgraceful ie very bad example from a barrister ie marty morrisey is a total gentleman

Glad RTE got rid of him. It is clear from this interview he started to believe his own hype. In my opinion all he ended up creating was pantomime. His MO was blowing smoke up a team that is doing well first Tyrone then Donegal, then Dublin. Then hammering them when they fall and act as if he knew it all along! Complete 180's changes like the wind. In my view there was\is no sincerity in his football punditry. Even the Sean Cavanagh issue. He seems to have forgotten that he did not just make it about the game. He attacked the man in question. Remember he said 'Sean Cavanagh has gone down in my estimation as a man!' Also he has said in the past he just says things for a reaction. But after a while he seemed to forget his main role to analyse a game! Not to pontificate. He used to talk over his fellow pundits. Completely dominate his was always about Joe's theories. The game itself gets lost. The RTE panel is now much better can analyse tactics\the match itself - which is much better than the pantomime Brolly used to create.

He is a, barrister well he should behave like one ie his comment on marty morrisey was totally disgraceful hees not exactly brad pitt the second himself hees a great ambassador for barristers

Walter Mitty

RTE did a bad days work when they let that horrible bitter yolk Cantwell in the door .

he has the last laugh ..look at state off rte now.. 😂😂

Only the chulchi conversation Joe

No time for this man at all, totally above his station, yes he can talk... problem is he doesn't know when to shut up, as he said about Tyrone team; I wouldn't be going for a pint with him

His is the only opinion that counts . According to him.

Joe has an eye for controversy . Gets tiresome after awhile . Like most Irish media It's more fake than anything else. Much prefer genuine pundits like Gooch, Tomas O Shea.

Rte = joke

Joe is entertaining but not a good pundit......he had his day on RTE but it over and get over it

Sunday game is boring now - scripted, rehearsed, safe, politically correct - good god dont get me started about joanne Cantwell - i hate it now

Joe Brolly is brillo

He is talking out of his hole

Brolly is a nasty individual........massive ego and will hurt anyone to feed it. He was incredibly abusive towards Sean Cavanagh and really called into question his manhood really over something that happened on a pitch in a split second. He knew exactly what he was doing that day building his own profile..........

The man’s a clown. Always has been.
